Update - Managing jobs (production orders)

In Schedule terminology, a production order is represented by a job. It is defined as the sequence of all production steps required to complete a production order.

To get an overview of the characteristics of the jobs (production orders) in your plan, click the third icon under the Update menu item.

The Manage All Data modal will be displayed, opened on the Jobs tab. The tab contains a long table, with your jobs on the rows and their characteristics in the columns.

You can exclude a job from sequence number calculation by setting the corresponding dropdown to Yes.

To edit the characteristics of a job, click the Edit link on its row, indicated by the red arrow below.

The Details tab

The Manage Job Details modal will be displayed, opened at its (default) Details tab.

Here you can edit/set the following fields:

• Release date
• Sequence number
• Excluded from sequence number calculation
• Strategy
• Status
• Predecessors

The table under the fields lists the tasks (operations) belonging to the job (production order). Clicking the Edit Task link on the row of a task (as indicated in the above screenshot) will take you to the Manage Task Details modal discussed in this article.

The Additional Info tab

The second, Additional Info tab of the Manage Job Details modal contains further fields related to the production order, mostly imported from SAP Business One. If you specified job custom fields, they will also be listed here - you can see two highlighted by the red frame in the example below.

The editable fields here are as follows:

• Customer
• Sales
• Job note
• Job custom fields (if any)

The Hyperlinks tab

You can use the third tab of the Manage Job Details modal to add links to your jobs. These links may point e.g. to instructions, drawings or tutorials relevant to the job. In the example below, we have added two links, one pointing to the Boyum Portal and another to the Boyum Solutions home page to the selected job (production order).

Now after saving your changes, a Hyperlinks item will show up in the right-click menu of the given job, offering access to the two URLs we specified above.
